What did the ninth admendm ent do?
The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights, asserts that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not mean that other rights not specifically mentioned are not retained by the people. Essentially, it emphasizes that individuals have more rights than those explicitly listed in the Constitution, protecting unenumerated rights from government infringement. This amendment aims to ensure that the rights of the people are not limited to just those written in the Constitution.
Why is the ninth amendent considered to be controversial?
It is to open-ended, there are way to many loop holes in the ninth amendment.The ninth amendment states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It was James Madison's attempt to ensure the Bill of Rights was not seen as granting only the specific rights it addressed to the people of the United States. In recent years, some have interpreted it to mean the existence of "unenumerated" rights outside those expressly protected by the Bill of Rights.
What word means that the government has only the powers that the people grant it?
"Unenumerated rights" or "retained rights." The basis for that status is the ninth amendment to the Constitution: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

How are the 14th and 9th amendment similar and different?
The 14th and 9th Amendments both protect individual rights, but they do so in different contexts. The 14th Amendment primarily addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law, ensuring that states cannot deny any person their rights without due process. In contrast, the 9th Amendment emphasizes that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not mean that other unenumerated rights do not exist, protecting rights not explicitly listed. While both amendments serve to safeguard personal freedoms, they focus on different aspects of rights and government limitations.
What is an example of what the people have the right to do in the 9th amendment?
It states that there are certain rights listed in the Constitution, but that does not mean that there aren't other rights that the people have that are not listed. Such rights could include the right to take a shower and other silly thigs like that. Because they are so small, the founding fathers didnt see a need to include them in the constitution, but at the same time, they didntwantit to be said that people dont "have the right to shower", so they said though somerights may not be listed, they are still given to the people ofthe united states of america. these rights are reffered to as Unenumerated Rights
